Healthy Smoothies & Recipes

Welcome back to another blog!

I am so excited to share with you the Fab Four Smoothies. I first heard about this smoothie on a podcast called RISE by Rachel Hollis.
Rachel invited Kelly LeVeque, a nutritionist to talk about her book called “Body Love.”
In this book Kelly talks about keeping yourself full without snacking and a smoothie that can keep you full up to 8 hours.

Let’s see how I am doing with keeping myself full…

I am the kind of person who doesn’t gain weight, I feel like I’ve been around 100 pounds my whole life but the thing is that I am always hungry. I knew that she was talking to me when she said “keep you full for hours.” I had to get the ingredients and start drinking because I can eat now and after 30-45 minutes I will be hungry again.

Kelly explains that there is 8 hunger tickers in our bodies. For example, we eat eggs in the morning. Those egg lets say fulfill 5 of those 8 tickers which that means that you will still be hungry unless you know what to feed those other 3 tickers.

Has this Smoothie Kept me FULL

I start my day at 7:30am. I get pretty aka makeup and then I make my smoothie around 8:15 am. I finish the whole smoothie at 11am. It’s 4pm and I am not hungry. (2nd day and i immediately saw a change in my hunger)

The first day it was a struggle (strawberry basil smoothie) i didn’t leave the smoothie in the blender long enough so it was a little grainy. But I lasted until 5pm.
